Do you have a great idea for Dallin? The Arlington Education Foundation (AEF) may be able to help!

Arlington Education Foundation (AEF) is eager to support the Dallin community and other Arlington Public Schools through various grants. This year, they have new grant guidelines and they made it easier to apply online.

Excellence in Education Grants ($250-$4,000, formerly Innovation Grants)

Grants for projects that introduce innovative teaching practices, pilot new ideas, strengthen existing curriculum, increase student engagement, expand learning opportunities, or enhance the educational experience in other meaningful ways.

• The updated grant gives weight to both innovative ideas and student impact.
• There are new application questions
• You’ll need to partner with a Dallin staff member and have the AEF Rep review your application, due November 1st and April 2nd.

For guidance on grant applications or to talk about possible ideas, please email Dallin’s AEF representative (angela.l.elias@gmail.com). Visit the AEF website to access online grant applications and to learn more about what the AEF does for our community.
